Actor Jason Momoa Now Has a Plug-In-Hybrid Harley-Davidson. And It's From The 1920s

For decades, the restomod formula was pretty straightforward. Take an old vehicle, restore it, then sneak in a few modern upgrades so it's nicer to live with. Maybe that meant fuel injection instead of carburetors. Maybe it meant disc brakes, electronic ignition, air conditioning, or a better stereo.

But "modern" is a moving target.

What counted as cutting-edge in 1995 feels ancient today. And if a new project from Jason Momoa and British EV specialist Electrogenic is any indication, the next chapter of restomodding might involve a lot more batteries. And that's because the latest season of On The Roam follows Momoa as he transforms some of his favorite vintage machines, and the results are exactly as ambitious as you'd expect from a guy who previously had a 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II converted to electric power.

This time around, the lineup includes two rare classic Land Rovers, three vintage Harley-Davidsons, and an off-road camping trailer that somehow ended up with enough battery capacity to embarrass some modern EVs.

The Land Rovers are perhaps the easiest builds to understand. Electrogenic converted a 1949 Series I and a rare 1961 Series IIA Dormobile camper to fully electric power while retaining their original transfer cases and four-wheel-drive systems. The goal wasn't to reinvent them. It was to preserve everything that made them special while removing some of the compromises that came with mid-century engineering.

The result is a pair of silent, torque-rich classics that can still crawl through the woods and wander off-road, only now without exhaust fumes finding their way into the cabin. The Dormobile even gets an induction cooktop, turning it into a genuinely modern electric camper.
